You meet someone, you fall in love and that deep and abiding sense of “this is the one for me” leads you to the alter. After the honeymoon, life ensues along with all of the ups and downs that everyone faces. At some point the challenges may seem unbearable; the communication with your partner breaks down and the once powerful feelings of love that brought you together seem to be slipping away. Can your relationship be saved? Is it worth saving? What path do you need to follow to answer these emotionally charged and potentially life changing questions?

My guests this week on Destination Unlimited, psychotherapist and relationship counselors Linda and Charlie Bloom, faced these questions and much more in their own relationship. Linda and Charlie have worked with individuals, couples, groups and organizations since 1975. They have lectured and taught at the Esalen Institute, the Kripalu Center, 1440 Multiversary, the California Institute Of Integral Studies, Omega Institute and many more. They have offered seminars around the world and have authored three bestselling books including 101 Things I Wish I Knew When I Got Married, Simple Lessons to Make Love Last, Happily Ever After and 39 Other Myths About Love. They join me this week to discuss their new raw, open and honest book about their personal relationship challenges and how they addressed them, That Which Doesn’t Kill Us - How One Couple Became Stronger at the Broken Places.
